Chapter 232 Tomb Guards ([-])
I finally understood why Second Uncle Liu was so sad just now. For so many years, they fought against the enemy together.

I also understand why Second Uncle Liu wanted to assassinate us before?Why did you want to assassinate the mercenary group later?In fact, all he did was to fulfill his duties as a mausoleum guard, to protect the imperial mausoleum from damage and robbery.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang is unparalleled in the world. It has attracted countless tomb robbers and treasure hunters since ancient times. I can't imagine what kind of sacrifices these brave mausoleum guards made to keep the imperial mausoleum intact for hundreds of thousands of years.

"You are really a group of brave people!" I gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.

Uncle Liu took a deep breath and said a very philosophical sentence: "No matter what you do, as long as you have enough faith, you will naturally have enough courage!"

"Do you know who those bastards are from?" Second Uncle Liu asked.

I shook my head: "Judging from their behavior and dress, they should be mercenaries. But I don't know what their purpose of coming to Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum is? Could it be to dig out the treasures in the underground palace of the imperial tomb?"

Second Uncle Liu said sadly: "The guards of the mausoleum have not experienced such a bloody battle for many years, and the enemies who came this time are more fierce than any previous group of enemies!"

Xiao Guoguo said: "In this case, instead of stopping those mercenaries, you come to make things difficult for us. What's the matter? Seeing how few of us there are, you think it's easy to bully?"

Second Uncle Liu was stunned, and Xiao Guoguo's words made him speechless to refute.

"I have a suggestion! Why don't we join forces to deal with those mercenaries!" I stared at Second Uncle Liu.

"Joining hands?!" Uncle Liu looked at me blankly, probably not expecting me to make such a suggestion.

"Yes! This group of mercenaries is very fierce, and their fighting power is also very strong! In addition to mercenaries, there are also masters like spiritual masters in the team. Therefore, we need your help, and you also need our help!" I said patiently .

Uncle Liu closed his mouth tightly, as if he was thinking hard.

"This group of mercenaries came prepared and will definitely enter the imperial tomb. As the guards of the tomb, don't you want to stop their atrocities? Even if we can't stop them outside, we must stop them when we enter the underground palace. If not, Has your mission to protect the mausoleum been declared a failure?" I continued to lobby.

Uncle Liu said: "For thousands of years, no one has ever entered the underground palace..."

"No matter how strong the underground palace is, it was built artificially. Do you really think they can't get in?" Xiao Guoguo snorted coldly.

Uncle Liu thought for a while, put down the ghost knife, and held out his hand to me: "Okay, I promise to cooperate with you!"

I smiled and reached out to shake hands with Uncle Liu.

"The blood of the brothers cannot be shed in vain! The lives of the brothers cannot be sacrificed in vain! You are right, even if we fail to stop them in the outer city, we must stop them when they go down to the underground palace. We must not let them take any One thing!" Second Uncle Liu's pupils shot out two bright lights: "Also, if you two are really looking for immortal grass, I will not stop you, but if you also want to covet treasures, I will not show mercy of!"

I smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, a gentleman promises a thousand gold, we are only looking for immortal grass, and will not covet any treasures in the underground palace!" Having said that, I smiled wryly, and said quietly: "The gold, silver and jewels in the underground palace are in my hands. In my eyes, how can I compare with Gu Meidi's life?"

"Is it just the three of us? Where are the others?" Xiao Guoguo asked.

Uncle Liu said: "Go to the inner city and wait for me first, I will call the rest of the brothers, and I will join you right away!"

The sky was getting brighter, and our figures were exposed in the morning light. For the sake of safety, Xiao Guoguo still cast a demonic mask. Like two invisible people, we strolled through the ruined city wall and entered the inner city.

The wall between the inner city and the outer city was originally very tall and majestic, but it was destroyed by Xiang Yu that year.Most of the city walls have collapsed, and the skin of the walls has peeled off over time, leaving mottled light and shadows, scars everywhere, and traces of being burned by fire, like an ugly scorpion head.Some walls are covered with weeds, and when the wind blows, they whirr.Everywhere you look, there is a sense of desolation and desolation.The morning sun shone on the dilapidated city wall, swaying slowly, as if gently singing the thousand-year-old Qin opera.

"I've been walking all night, stop here and rest!" I said.

Xiao Guoguo nodded, put away the evil spirit mask, and the two of us sat under the broken city wall to rest.

When I didn't stop, I didn't feel anything, but when I stopped, I realized that my legs seemed to be broken, and I was twitching, and in just one night, blisters appeared on the soles of my feet.

I took out dry food and water from my backpack, and handed a biscuit to Xiao Guoguo.

Xiao Guoguo took a look: "What is this?"

"Crackers!" I said.

"Why does it look like a pile of poop?" Xiao Guoguo curled her mouth and turned her head: "I don't want to eat it!"

I patiently introduced the benefits of compressed biscuits to her: "This compressed biscuit is very resistant to hunger. If you bite it down and drink some water, it will quickly swell in your stomach, and then you will not feel hungry at the end of the day... ..."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Xiao Guoguo pouted, "I want to eat Oreos!"

"Wow! Where can I buy you Oreos?" I said helplessly, spreading my hands.

"Then why didn't you prepare before you left?" Xiao Guoguo looked at me complainingly.

"What kind of Oreo do you eat for a fox? It's so ridiculous! Oreo has chocolate on it. Eating Oreo can easily hurt your teeth and cause hair loss! Look at how beautiful your snow-white fur is..." I said Before he finished talking, Xiao Guoguo was furious: "The animal that loses hair after eating chocolate seems to be a dog?! Hmm?!"

I saw the fiery sparks in Xiao Guoguo's beautiful eyes, and I didn't dare to continue talking. I lowered my head silently, and took a bite of the compressed biscuit. Woohoo, it's so fucking hard, I almost missed it. My teeth were chipped off!

"What else is there to eat in the bag?" Xiao Guoguo's stomach let out a growl.

"Ah! Got it! There are still some apples, do you want them?" I took out two apples from my bag and handed them to Xiao Guoguo.

"Very good!" Xiao Guoguo grabbed an apple with one hand, took a bite to the left and then to the right, biting hard.

"I finally found you!" Uncle Liu appeared in front of us, followed by eight ghost-masked men.

"Brothers are all here!" Second Uncle Liu waved his hand, and the eight ghost-masked men behind took off their masks in unison.

I handed Uncle Liu a piece of compressed biscuit, and Uncle Liu waved his hand: "No, we have our own dry food! Come on, let me introduce to you, these are the eight remaining brothers of our Mausoleum Guard! Next we will go side by side Let's fight, let's get to know each other!"

"This is Ziyun, the only woman in our mausoleum guard!" Second Uncle Liu said.

"Hello!" Ziyun cupped his fist slightly at me. She is not that outstandingly beautiful, but very delicate, and probably because of a martial arts practitioner, there is a heroic look in her brows and eyes.She was only in her twenties, with slender legs and big, piercing eyes. I couldn't help but look at her twice.

Under the introduction of Uncle Liu, I clasped my fists and saluted with the other seven people one by one.

Cao Yang, in his 40s, is the second oldest person in the mausoleum guards. He is missing three fingers on his left hand, which is said to be scars left during the last mausoleum protection operation.He said that he joined his father's squad to guard the mausoleum, and has experienced more than 20 battles to protect the mausoleum in more than 50 years.

Wu Maoyuan is short in stature and dark-skinned, but very strong, like a sturdy buffalo.According to Liu Ershu's introduction, Wu Maoyuan's Ditang sword technique is very powerful.The mercenary nigger just now had his arm cut off by Wu Maoyuan's unexpected Ditang knife technique.

Jiao Heng, with a square face, is young, but he has a cold temperament and doesn't like to talk too much. His mantra is only one word: "Kill!".

Liu Yuhao, the youngest member of the mausoleum guards, is said to be under 20 years old, and he is very simple and honest.When he saw such a beautiful woman as Xiao Guoguo, he blushed shyly and lowered his head, not daring to face Xiao Guoguo.

Chen Hongzhou, about 30 years old, has three parallel scars on his left face, which are very similar to his "Zhou" character.

Li Yuan, with a black and yellow face, looks like a Northwest baked bun, and has a thin body, but I heard that he is good at lightness kung fu, and can jump up a three-meter-high wall.

Yue Xiaojun, he himself does not match his name at all, although he is called Yue Xiaojun, he is actually tall and burly, with a powerful body, and the muscles on his arms are like meat buns.The ghost-faced man who fought against me in the dense forest before was this Yue Xiaojun. He looked at me and said, "You are very good, let's compete later!"

Second Uncle Liu pointed at himself: "As for me, as you know, my name is Liu Dongze. Because I am the oldest, everyone calls me Uncle Liu. I am currently the captain of the Mausoleum Guard!" The token, that token is a little smaller than a palm, with ancient characters engraved with gold lacquer on both sides.The front is "Guardian", and the back is "Mausoleum". Together, it happens to be the word "Huling".

Uncle Liu said: "This Tomb Guard Token was given by Han Gaozu himself! It is the symbol of our Tomb Guard!"

"Hi!" I greeted everyone: "Let me also introduce myself briefly, my name is Tuobagu, nice to meet you all! Here, her name is Xiao Guoguo!"

"Hi everyone, my name is Xiao Guoguo, and I'm not his girlfriend!" Xiao Guoguo said with a smile.

Nima!Do I need to emphasize the last sentence?Really sweaty!
